Disappearing Stepping Stones: Technological Change & #Career Paths http://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:cer:papers:wp776&r=lma
"…6% of workers in non-routine cognitive occupations used routine cognitive occupations as stepping stones that allow them to accumulate #HumanCapital…
A fall in employment in routine cognitive occupations during the most intensive routine-biased #technologicalChange led to >1.37m lost high-skilled workers who got stuck in less skilled occupations"

In a new book, economists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson provide a sweeping historical overview of just how unevenly the spoils and costs of #TechnologicalChange have been distributed. Power and Progress: Our 1,000-Year Struggle Over #Technology and #Prosperity reminds us that technology is rather a tool that is developed to support the agendas of the people and institutions who hold #power in #society https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/why-the-power-of-technology-rarely-goes-to-the-people/

Technology will continue advancing exponentially. But the future remains open within these trajectories. Despite primal flaws and obsolete structures, the resilience of human aspirations still offers hope.

...finds that, unlike earlier work which suggests job losses and worse job quality, workers in routine jobs are more likely to move to higher-skilled, non-routine jobs in the same or a different firm, even for workers above 55. Institutions like apprenticeships and unions providing training opportunities for workers may help in avoiding the potentially harmful career effects of #TechnologicalChange.

This is a really insightfull article. The authors conducted a large-scale empirical study of 400 e-commerce firms to understand the implications of the tension between efficiency and flexibility on firm performance in response to #GDPR. They found that firms that had built their websites and tech-services for efficiency, electing tightly integrated services from closely linked suppliers, suffered disproportionately when GDPR came into force. In contrast, companies that deployed new combinations of technologies not extensively used before performed much better.

Pretty good insight for those working in the US and AU at present as we navigate changes to our local data protection and governance regulations.

Early retired or automatized? https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212828X23000038
…suggests the existence of forced early retirement not only because of health issues, but also due to #TechnologicalChange. Controlling for demographic characteristics, health level, financial situation, previous employment features & country level variables, finds a positive association between the advance of new technologies & early #retirement.
